Car maintenance in winter

  

Every evening, cover your windscreen on the inside and outside with newspaper to prevent it icing up, and lift up your wipers. Make sure you have a winter type screenwash, at the appropriate concentration, in your windscreen washer bottle: in fact it is essential to have a full windscreen washer bottle in good working order, because in winter, windscreens are "whitened" very quickly by salt being thrown up onto them.

 

Check the state of your battery frequently, low temperatures can cause it to discharge.

 

Check that the oil in your engine is suited to your car and the conditions, because cold has a tendency to thicken it.

 

Wash your car regularly to protect the chassis, bodywork and tyres from corrosion due to the salt on the roads.
